The Splash Koh Chang

Booked through Trip.com, I saw it was a family-friendly hotel and immediately placed the order. It wasn't expensive at the time, although prices skyrocketed during the Chinese New Year. The environment is excellent, with its own small private beach. The main attraction is the water park, which attracts many foreigners. There aren't as many Chinese guests, but kids don't care about nationalities; they all have a blast. Even though it's street-facing, it's not noisy. There's a 7-Eleven nearby and plenty of dining options. I stayed for 4 days, and it was very convenient. I especially loved the unique shape of the room, and the large balcony was my absolute favorite. Perfect for a family trip. I'd recommend staying for more days if possible. I really enjoy the carefree lifestyle on Koh Chang. Oh, and the breakfast was great too! 👌

The rooms were just okay; they're set up as villas, split into ground and first floors. Being on an island, a musty smell is to be expected, but with a bit of intervention, it could easily be aired out. The hotel breakfast was decent, but it's charged separately and quite expensive, though at least it tasted good. There's a pool at the hotel, which is great for families with kids, but be sure to slather on the sunscreen!

The hotel's location is excellent, about a 20-minute drive from the island's pier. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and with two EV charging stations, it's very convenient for electric car owners. The pool was a big hit with the kids; they could play there from morning onwards. However, the slide closes at 6 PM. Breakfast was decent, but during holidays or busy periods, the food replenishment can be a bit slow. The hotel staff were all very friendly, always greeting guests and helping with luggage.
